Spring Sparkle Flower

I love finding inspiration in everyday things! The idea for this card hit me one day when I spied an adorable gift bag while I was out shopping. It had several colorful spring flowers on a fun purple background. I was drawn to one BIG yellow flower, so I decided to make that the focus of my card. I knew I wanted to cut the flower out of chipboard, so I rummaged through my stash and was happy to find a piece that had a white top layer. So I ran that through my Big Shot machine with a flower die. Then I used Dries Clear adhesive with a beautiful shade of yellow glitter on the flower and did the same thing with pink glitter for the circle in the center. I let both pieces dry and then adhered the center to the flower. I stamped the stem with a Dandelion stamp, added lime glitter for more sparkle, and then attached the flower to the stem with foam tape. The grass layer is punched out of green cardstock and I just couldn’t resist adding glitter to it too! What are some of your favorite sources of inspiration?

I wanted that MS grass punch so bad before Easter. I looked everywhere for it, but only Michaels carried it around here, and they've been out of stock on it for weeks and weeks. Yay for you getting your hands on one!
